Answer:

When the poet was a student years ago, he had a teacher who used to tell his students of his dreams. His dream was to sail to places that he had heard only in maps. The teacher was a poor man and he could never sail to his dream places – he died unexpectedly. After the teacher’s death, the poet went to those places that the teacher longed to visit.

Our teacher told us one day he would leave

And sail across a warm blue sea

To places he had only known from maps,

And all his life had longed to be.

Our teacher

He would leave – He would leave the school

Sail across a warm blue sea

Places he had only known from maps,

And all his life had

Longed to be – Wished
